I'd hate to go through a divorce with some of you people, it's very messy.
I honestly think that there should be an amiacable split here. Easts & Roo's no longer want to be associated with Western Suburbs. They are being forced out of the area by the train & play rule.
Deep down everyone here doesn't want either club back in the wests competition because let's face it, you guys don't have the money or player roster to match these 2 clubs, they would canabolize the competition.
Everyone calls them traitors & defectors, but its puts up a good arguement when you look at some of the reasons why they may have left.
They get to play in a competition where there are 10 teams. At present all 10 teams are competitive. This provides a challenge most weeks, which keeps players and fans happy.
They are able to sell alcohol at their games, which allows the clubs to increase revenue.
Let the Eagles and Roo's play in Ctown, then everyone can move on. I'm sure all of the white anting, and undermining that is supposedly going on will stop when this occurs.
Then at the end of the day, if the Western Suburbs competition has the better product, it may kill off the roos and eagles, because all of the locals will vote with their feet, and all of the players will too.
I don't think anyone realises the impact this may have on Rugby League in the bigger picture.
Great call TC, but we are not so fussed to go back to Campbelltown, the way we look at it is, we have a good comp to play in, in all grades, It is well run and managed, I think the JL should just come to terms that we are not coming back nor do we want to, we are a group 6 club and we are loving it, the JL has done what it can to run clubs out of the area and there is more clubs on there way, they have there own dramas ahead and that is there problem, its not a good look that your own clubs dont want to play under you, people see the truth :correct: face it people running the game out west DO NOT HAVE THE GAME AT HEART :correct:

Well said TC :clap:
But like the Eagles, we are also now most content with what we have.
Unfortunately the absence of senior footy in Campbelltown and the absence of political power that men's footy provides, has seen the local area's grounds go undeveloped for many years. Significantly, East Campbelltown started getting the first upgrades in recent times, as they began beating the drum about how inadequate Waminda was for senior footy.
It is tragic that considering what our footy club so inexplicably gave up at Orana Park. We got an undeveloped expanse of clay to play on next to the M5.

What about the Mayor of Campbelltown in the local paper losing the bet against the Mayor of Camden, hasn't he had a shocker! Losing the bet and his 2 best Campbelltown Rugby League Clubs to Camden!

Boys you can keep trying to whiteant Wests Seniors as much as you want.
Wests comp will be stronger than ever again in 2012. :correct:
Your clubs can choose to come back and play here or stay training and playing at Camden. :hey:

Good to see Leppington City out of the G6 semi finals so early. All the $$$ spent again on old unfit players and couldn't make the finals of a country comp even with their Penrith connection. :rofl: :rofl:
Now we can watch the Eagles go by the wayside also.

Both clubs should stop wasting so much money on there seniors and put back into their juniors.
I wonder what there juniors think about all the wasted money on tired old has-beens.

hey bobcrap you are right you do have a strong vibrant violent comp congratulations :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:
How's your club going Roos? :clap:
Beaten by Narellan, all the money spent again for no return on
overpaid has-beens
Got no respect for the hard work you and the other helpers do
You wouldn't even make semis in wests comp :correct:
because none of them have ufc fighting experience
Hey bobcrap its never been about the money, its about playing good old rugby league, where the players get too play week in week out
without all the do-do that goes on in your comp, it has never been about the money & it will never be about the money & i think eagles & bulls would agree, the money our clubs have spent has been worth every cent. :winner: :winner: :winner: :winner: :winner: :winner:

Alot of people who frequent this site as well as post here always criticize the eagles & roos for defecting to another comp , yet do not put a plausible argument as to why they should come back, only showing bitterness towards their decisions . Firstly the roos have been a group 6 club longer than they have been a wests jrl club so that is a no brainer, and are only second to bowral for premierships won in the group 6 comp ,Secondly the eagles by their standings currently in all grades in the stronger group 6 comp can be justified as to why they've made the decision they have as well, once again ..no brainer.

History has shown that a decent wests jrl seniors comp hasnt been effectively run and managed in a very long time and due to this clubs growth and developement has been stifled.Over the years Northern clubs like Narellan,Camden,Mt Annan etc capitalised on the very fact CAMPBELLTOWN players wanted a more elite competition to play in. Mt Annans u/18 side in 2006 was literally the roos u/16 side the year before. Retiring west magpie players over the years like Andrew Willis,Travis Baker,Damien Kennedy,Ron Jones, Cameron Blair, ken mcguinness etc etc came out to play for group 6 clubs , why is that ? Because what was offered locally was not appealing or to the standard these players wanted to play at ....... very simple.

I find that funny, this was talked about in the last seniors meeting I attended, the exact words were "Dont worry, the Eagles are going to get thrown out" Just another untruth told at another rubbish senior meeting, I love the kids footy around here but i'll tell you I've had enough of senior footy, the season cant come to an end fast enough and bring on a fresh start for 2012.

This has to be one of the best write ups ive seen on this forum, everything stu has stated is 100 percent correct! Ive been around RL most of my life and I must admit ive never seen the place in such a sorry state! The only hope the area has is if peolpe high up at NSWRL come in and finally take over and dismiss the entire Junior League board, these people have been there long enough and it time to go. they have lost the 2 biggest clubs in the area, they have no support from anyone except some board member that cals himself BOBCAT, A clean out is the only avenue as Junior Clubs are too scared to stand up. Good to here Eagles have a victory at NSWRL and that victory might tell the Junior League that people high up have had enough, I cant see any changes happening until the board of the Junior League is gone. Rugby League out Wests needs to move forward and these dinosaurs aint helping.

You have more chance seeing me run out for the Wests Tigers NRL side then them stepping down, why are they there, do they have any kids playing the game? And the baggings they have copped in the local papers, forum and even in the streets, makes you wonder why they are there! They might like the Silverchair song , "abuse me more I like it" if you talk to clubs or players that still play in there comp, they bag them, they should do a donation and everytime some one bags them they raise money for Rugby League in the area, we would be the richest area in the World, it's official, it's a BAGATHON!
